There will be no automatic qualifiers, with all the nations with host cities required to earn their place at the finals.

How will qualifying work?

The success of the first 24-team UEFA European Championship – UEFA EURO 2016 – vindicated UEFA's decision to broaden the net for the final tournament, and 24 sides will be involved again at UEFA EURO 2020.

▪ Twenty teams – the top two in each of the ten groups – will reach the tournament via the European Qualifiers, running from March to November 2019.

▪ Four more countries will qualify via the new UEFA Nations League, with the decisive play-offs to be staged in March 2020.

Will the hosts play their games at home?

Every qualified host would be guaranteed two home games in the group phase, but there would be no such guarantee for the knockout stage. A maximum of two host teams would be drawn into each of the six groups.

The Stadio Olimpico in Rome will host the opening game.

Group A: Rome and BakuGroup B: Saint Petersburg and CopenhagenGroup C: Amsterdam and Bucharest Group D: London and GlasgowGroup E: Bilbao and DublinGroup F: Munich and Budapest

Why a 'EURO for Europe'?

"There is great pleasure in being able to bring EURO 2020 to so many countries and cities, to see football acting as a bridge between nations, and to carry the competition closer to the fans, who are the essential lifeblood of the game," says UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin.

How can fans be informed about tickets?

Fans can already register a ticketing account or log in to the TICKET PORTAL with an existing account. You can specify travel and team preferences, and be the first to get the latest information about tickets for UEFA EURO 2020.

What if I want to volunteer?

Volunteers will be crucial to the running of UEFA EURO 2020, with the application phase set to open in summer 2019. The objective of the volunteer programme is to integrate and gather the population across Europe, as well as creating a legacy for the host countries.
